Just what are you conservatives against here... Are you against union workers public or private making a livable wage ?. Are you against the unions because they traditionally support democrats because republicans support the rich and corporations...Just what is it that you hate ?

Theres two sides to every story...of course the conservatives here will have none of the bad side of Chris Christie and what hes done and how hes gone about doing it....no different that the liberals not accepting the bad side of Obama...so Its really not worth the effort to write a long post outlining the dirty way christie did this...

Just keep in mind conservatives...using NJ as an example, there are over 500,000 state, city and munincipal public workers in NJ...with immediate families that "VOTE" and extended families that vote and friends that vote. What the teaparty has done in Ohio and NJ and Florida and other states may not go unanswered in the future.
The unions may have supported democrats all along, but not all the rank and file voted democrat and that I know. That will no longer be the case...take that to the bank.

Restricting union power does not have **** to do today with making a livable wage. Millions of people all over the country are not in unions and make livable wages.

I support the worker's ability to unionize. What I do not support is closed shops and a costly trial process just to fire a teacher.

"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murder is less to fear"

While I am not a fan of Christie's, I can't stand the labeling of politicians or ideologies as Nazi. Because of Hitler, close to 100 million people died. That shouldn't be thrown around lightly. It makes me not listen to anything else the person has to say.

There should be like a law where if anybody makes a Nazi reference and the person/group they're talking about is not committing genocide, they become immediately open season for thrown fruit and/or pies.

Nonesense, non union people across the board make less and have no benefits or very little if any...non union workers have been stripped in the last 20 yrs while the ceos pay soared
The largest employer in this country is WALMART thats right walmart singularly employs the most americans and they DO NOT make a livable wage most of them are part time.
Corporations across the board have ended full time employment and hire part timers to get around paying any benefits whatsoever and they do NOT make a livable wage...

I do agree with you that I do not like forced dues deductions...it should be the employees choice...I also agree that tenure should be abolished

Making less does not mean you are being denied a living wage.

Has it ever occurred to you that the reason they are able to hire so many people in the first place is because they hire part time employees?

At least we can agree on something.
